It is not known as such, but the 9.7 passwd-entries contain a non-sr10
compatible crypted passwd. (I think it is mentioned somewhere in
	"making the transition to sr10"

The fix is rather simple. Expire all user passwds, upon login are they
required to supply a new one, which then is crypted in new format.
So next time an ftp-session is started, then access is allowed.
Ftp was created on sr10, hence it did not give any problems.
